Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey said he will not expedite Utah's timetable to contend in an artificial manner.

"I’m very comfortable with the number of returning players, the core that we have, the internal improvement in addition to some reasonable projections [for future success]," Lindsey said. "We’re not going to arbitrarily try to speed up the timeline or slow it down to be more process-oriented. Every season is quite unique. This (last) one was a little more disjointed." Acquiring George Hill for the No. 12 overall pick was a win-now type of move, so Utah should be expected to push for a playoff spot in 2016-17. Jun 27 - 9:36 AM

There's a "decent chance" that the Jazz will trade away their No. 12 overall selection in the upcoming draft, according to Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune.

Utah already has a solid core of young talent, so they may look to flip their pick in order to bring in a proven veteran. The Spurs have reportedly been looking to move up in the first-round, as are the Hornets, so it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out on draft day. Jun 19 - 2:39 PM

The Jazz announced on Friday that they have officially signed head coach Quin Snyder to a long-term contract extension.

"We have continued to take significant steps as a team under Quin’s direction," Jazz General Manager Dennis Lindsey said. "His work ethic, basketball intelligence and ability to connect with and develop our players make him the ideal head coach of the Jazz." Snyder will be entering his third season as the head coach of the Jazz and will look to get his promising young team into the postseason. May 6 - 12:12 PM

Jazz head coach Quin Snyder has not decided who will start in the backcourt on opening night.

Trey Burke and Alec Burks were the clear favorites to start earlier in the preseason, but Raul Neto and Rodney Hood made some serious noise in the first unit on Thursday and it sounds like Snyder is truly undecided. "The thing that we have is a group that I think understands the value that the team is bigger than any one of us and they’re willing to do what needs to be done," Snyder said. "It’s my job to make some of those decisions." These position battles are going to come down to the wire which makes it difficult for owners who are drafting this weekend.

This will be his sixth game in a row on the shelf after he missed eight games in a row earlier this season with a thumb issue. Hill was playing the best ball of his life this season, so his owners just need to hang in there. Shelvin Mack is worth streaming while Hill is out, but Dante Exum still belongs on the wire.

Rodney Hood (hamstring) is questionable to play against the Kings on Saturday.

Considering he aggravated his hamstring early this week, the Jazz are likely going to be careful with Hood here. Plus, he's been a little injury prone during his career. If he's out, Joe Johnson and Joe Ingles will be helping out Gordon Hayward (finger) on the wing.

Coach Quin Snyder said Alec Burks (ankle) is expected to miss the next 1-2 months

He is out indefinitely due to his arthroscopic surgery to debride his left ankle. Burks has been hurt for most of his time in the past two seasons and also had a knee procedure this summer. He's not worth stashing almost anywhere and could be a trade candidate once he's healthy.

Gordon Hayward (finger) is probable for Saturday's game vs. the Kings.

He missed Thursday's game vs. the Warriors, but you have to wonder if the Jazz simply wanted to rest him against arguably the top team in the league right now. Rodney Hood (hamstring) is questionable and George Hill (toe) is out, so Hayward is going to be a strong play in all formats Saturday.

Derrick Favors (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday against the Warriors.

He has been doing some pre-game shooting dating back to Dec. 3, but there is no word of him progressing in his workouts. Favors is basically out indefinitely. Boris Diaw and Trey Lyles should get more run, but both don't have much fantasy value.
